I have a DIY EV conversion (9" ADC motor and Zeva 1000 amp motor controller) using 36 leaf cells (18S2P) battery pack to provide ~148V at max charge. Since i don't drive it in the winter (think safety and rust) i have a readily available electrical storage unit just sitting in my garage - perfect for when snow/ice storms cause power outages. I'd like to use it to power essential services, primarily the gas furnace (110V AC) for home heating. I need a 3 kW inverter with pure sine wave output. All the DC to AC inverters for auto, RV and solar applications that i have found are low DC voltage input (12, 24 or 48V DC). Industrial units for higher voltage input (120 -150 V DC) are in excess of $4k. I'd prefer to spend < $1k.
Has anyone done this for a reasonable price?
